Najee Harris is going to be a problem for NFL defenses.
The former University of Alabama running back proved he was an every-down back in college in Steve Sarkisian’s system. While he was a bull in the running game, Harris also recorded 781 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. That was an underrated part of his game.
Now, he’s doing it in the NFL.
With the Steelers leading 7-0 midway through the first quarter, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took the snap and dropped back to pass. Harris ran a short route across the middle, and Roethlisberger hit him in stride.
Three Detroit Lions defenders had Harris surrounded; however, the running back got the corner and left the defenders in the dust. Harris showed impressive break away speed on the reception, and he also put a sick move on another defender in the open field almost tripping himself.

Oh boy.
